So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem is that Mastodon doesn't know what to do with it, so it (the group) looks like a user that boosts all posts and comments.

I found myself browsing the "federated group" @selfhosted over on https://kbin.social, as I think Kbin has a nicer UX for it.

I didn't really want to create a separate account for group stuff, but that might be what we do in the short term. 🤔

@ElectroVagrant I wonder if this will work too?

(I'm using the "content warning" feature of Mastodon, and replying directly to a lemmy.world user)

EDIT: Okay the content warning didn't work, but it appears that so long as I @ someone on the server that owns the group (it doesn't have to be the group),my messages will federate correctly. Also if you can read this, Mastodon's edit federation works too. 😋

Speaking of edits, Lemmy's edit federation works as well!

@ElectroVagrant 🎉

EDIT: Ah interesting. I see the pencil icon on Lemmy for your edit, but my edits aren't marked with an icon. That feels like cheating. 😆

EDIT2: I stand corrected, the pencil appeared later. I wonder if this one will change too?

EDIT3: Yes it does. Another curiosity, but I swear that the comment count for this thread goes up every time I edit. 🤔

EDIT4: Confirmed (for Lemmy at least). After I push send the comment count should say 31.
